It attempts to invite the victims to respond to the e-mail and aims to get its financial information such as credit card number in order for them to make it easier to somehow hack the account. This strategy is a form of ?phishing?- the practice of luring unsuspecting Internet users to a fake Web site by using authentic-looking email with the real organization's logo, in...

It is of course necessary for automakers to have their best-of-the-best vehicle. These so-called flagship vehicles say a lot of things about an automaker. See, if an automaker's flagship is equipped with a very well-rounded powertrain but cheap-looking materials on the inside, it could be understood that ALL of their vehicles have the same cheap interior. Now, European cars are classy and their top of the line vehicles are sure to be really elegant. American automakers on the other hand values power, which means the best vehicle in their lineup is the fastest. Then, Asian automakers are known for well, reliability and fuel efficiency.

The Race is on for China
2008-01-31 02:44:00
It must be Feng Shui at work. According to Forbes, American and even European automakers now perceive China as a Messiah amid declining profits in their countries.Sure, the Chinese economy is still underdeveloped, with an annual per capita income of $930 in the cities and $299 only in the rural areas. But take note of this: General Motors' survey showed that an estimated 74 million Chinese families or about 20 percent of the country's population can afford to buy cars. The secret? Chinese are great savers.

I was about nine years old and my parents got me an '84 Honda CR80. Only problem was that I couldn't come close to touching the ground when I sat on it. My dad had made a special lower seat for me (by basically cutting away all the padding) so it had a real 'unique' look to it that could never be mistaken.
